Not only is Rwanda often described as the ‘Land of a Thousand Hills’ it is also referred to as Switzerland of Africa, with enchanted views of Lake Kivu and the higher elevations dominated by the Virunga Volcanoes, whose peaks are forever shrouded in mist and mystery, with the tangled jumble of tropical rain forest on its lower slopes home to the world famous Mountain Gorillas. Rwanda is the high altitude rendering of Jules Verne’s lost paradise as described in Journey to the Centre of the Earth, with the opportunity to visit the Mountain Gorilla’s natural environment, or a trekking adventure to Mount Visoke in the Parc National des Volcans, alive with the cacophonous calls of varicoloured birds and the chattering of rare Golden Monkeys.
And for those further interested in the scientific work of Dian Fossey, a trek to her former Karisoke base in the saddle area between Mt. Visoke and Mt. Karisimbi adds a historic dimension to the adventure. Any allusion to Rwanda in the context of geopolitical history and we are instantly reminded of the Genocide that devastated this tiny country in 1994. A visit to the Genocide Memorial Centre and the renowned Hotel Des Mille Collines is therefore an obligation for all those interested in historic narrative. The dark days of the Genocide have however lead to a miraculous transformation, one that is today defined by tribal unity, political stability, economic development and a promising future.All international flights, all flights not specifically listed in the itinerary
